NUS 2013 - Calling All Applicants!

No posts yet !

Anyways, Is anyone out there who is done with his/her application part? I am done with my GMAT (710) and starting up the application process.

Hi Getgyan,

I may be applying too but probably not right away. I couldn't find the essay topics anywhere on the application portal. Do you have any clue?

Not yet but will keep you posted. Are you done with your GMAT?


_________________

Yes I am. Scored a 700. In the process of understanding the application process etc. now.

Another doubt. In case an offer for admission is made from NUS, how soon does the applicant have to accept the offer? Wanted to know so that I can get a general idea about submission dates and compare with other colleges. The website doesn't offer much help either.

Please watch a video (https://nuscast.nus.edu.sg/PublicEvents/ ... Prof_Hsieh) of the commencement speech given by Mr Hsieh Tsun-Yan. Mr Hsieh sits on the NUS Business School Management Advisory Board which provides strategic advice to the Dean and the leadership of the school. For Mr Hsieh’s complete profile, please refer to: https://www.linheart.com/lead.html What aspect of Mr Hsieh’s speech resonates with you and why? If you were to ask Mr Hsieh one question, what would it be? (Word limit – 300 words)

We would like you to tell us about your post-MBA immediate career goals and how your professional experiences have prepared you to achieve these goals.

I was going to apply to NUS as well, but I got accepted into SMU and will be matriculating there instead. Shorter course length and start date.

Hello People,

I have a GMAT of 710 and planning to apply to NUS as well. I was wondering what are the deadlines for NUS. The application process seems to be a bit different from the US B schools. Was wondering if someone can throw a light on the deadlines etc

Thanks

Have collated some info on the Indian/Asian colleges accepting GMAT scores. You can use the info to your best of interests..

@freehandle: Have you tried looking at their website? I think they only have 2 Rds of application, and scholarship round is R1, which ends Dec 31 if I'm not wrong.

does anybody watched the video to write the first essay.
What is the word that is starting with "n"? that he pronounced while explaining commence

He says True "North". Your Real calling.

Hi

Has anyone been able to locate the questions for letters of recommendation for NUS intake?

Although I tried adding 2 recommendors after logging into NUS application page, but they have not received any sort of mail - the way it happens in other US B Schools.

Thanks
Vishwas

Hi Guys,

For the first essay, are you planning to take up qualities described by Mr. Hsieh and elaborate on why they are important for a business leader today? or write about how your personal qualities match up with those described by him, quoting examples?
I'm confused. Request help. Thanks.

Guys help plz!

Hi Amrit,

I submitted my application for NUS yesterday and I took the approach of elaboration of a quality and its importance. However, you don't need to do that for all the qualities as the question says which aspect you resonate most with. Plus take care of another part of the question as well in which you've to ask Mr. Hsieh a quation.

So keeping in mind the word limit, you can take either of the approaches. Going for the aspect you resonate most with and showing how you demonstrated that aspect in your professional life or elaborating on the importance of any of the aspects. But in either of these scenarios, you'll have to write a few words on why the aspect is important b'cos then only you'll be able to show why you resonate most with that aspect.

Thanks for replying alwaysursgd,
Helped to clear my doubts, now I am elaborating two qualities that resonate most with me and explaining relevance as per my personal experience.

All the best for your app!

Thanks amritd and All the best to you too.

Hi All,

Just need some thoughts on this :
In my resume, I am planning not to mention my academic qualifications as they are already mentioned in the online application. I plan to use the space for other info which can strengthen my profile.

Any views?

Thnx in advance!
